An essential element to the success of any national trade association’s lobbying efforts is the political arm of the association. MHI-PAC is the Political Action Committee (PAC) of the Manufactured Housing Institute. It provides financial assistance to political candidates who support a sound pro-business philosophy and responsible positions on issues of concern to our industry. The MHI-PAC is bipartisan, contributing to both Democratic and Republican candidates in the U.S. House and Senate who understand and support the MHI’s agenda.

WHY DO WE NEED A PAC?

The MHI-PAC funds allow individuals supportive of the industry to join forces with peers and back candidates who champion the issues critical to MHI’s members. Thanks to hundreds of members nationwide, the MHI-PAC is working to help MHI make the case for our industry on a daily basis. There is strength in numbers.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CONTRIBUTING?

With your contribution, you are helping support pro-manufactured housing candidates for the United States Congress. Your support increases MHI’s political presence on Capitol Hill and strengthens our stance on crucial legislative issues as we demonstrate the enormous value manufactured and modular housing brings to families and local communities.

WHAT IS A PRIOR APPROVAL SOLICITATION FORM?

Under Federal Election Commission regulations, MHI-PAC must receive prior approval before soliciting political contributions from MHI members. This permission is granted by the chief executive officer or certified representative to MHI from member companies. By signing the MHI-PAC Prior Approval Form, the CEO designates MHI-PAC as the sole political action committee authorized to solicit their employees. A company may withdraw its authorization at any time.
